Oak Ridge Public Schools Education Foundation

Enhancing public school education

"The Oak Ridge School System enjoys the support and confidence of
a community that values education. The Foundation allows us to
build on that support and make our schools the very best they can be."

Thom Mason, ORPSEF Chairman (2005 - 2016)

The Oak Ridge Public Schools Education Foundation (ORPSEF)
invests in the Oak Ridge Public Schools beyond what public tax dollars
can provide to ensure the highest quality of education for our students.
The Foundation raises funds
through grants and private donations and then invests in enhanced
educational programming, innovative technology, and state of the art facilities
for our teachers and students. We also encourage and provide lifelong
learning opportunities for our teachers. The Foundation adds significant
value to the investment in our school system made by our city and community
members. The Foundation works to ensure that the Oak Ridge Public Schools
provide the best public education possible and that our school system
sets the standard of excellence in public
education throughout the 21st century and beyond.
